Chamber of Commerce.

The inquiry on the board was very limited
indeed, and millers were buying only in very
limited quantities, claiming that prices were
too high, and that further drop must come
before they bought any more than enough to
run from day to day. Local stocks in store
increased 253. 26S blu. for the week, and St.
Paul decreased $4,000. Duluth increased
1877 600. Receipts here were 5SS cars and
shipments 100. Duluth received IA

Flour-The Market Record says: The in
quiry to-day was good and about the usual
number of sales are mentioned. The larger
exporters say they can sell all the -four to go
abroad on forward contracts they care to
book at present prices. The wheat is moving
slowly in the country and many of the local
millers are of the opinion that stocks of new
wheat will fall short of the demand before
the crop year ends. With this in view they
have confidence in the future flour market
and are not so anxious to make sales that run
too far into the future without being due.
Local manufacturers say they have been
especially favored in having old wheat here
to carry them far into October, since the new
crop was so, late in getting into shape.
